# 12 Things NOT To Do in Iraq
By: http://www.destinationtips.com/
Iraq is a lovely place.
So know these 12 Things NOT to Do, before you go!
1. Try Not to stand out
Rather than driving fast, surrounded by bodyguards try to blend in as much as possible. Women should dress in local fashion and men should grow out their facial hair.
2. Don'tStep On Bread!
Bread is a highly treasured food in Iraq. If you happen across a fallen hunk in the street don't step on it or touch it with your feet!
3. Don't Visit the Borders.
Don't travel near the Syrian, Turkish, or Iranian borders. You may encounter large refugee flows.
4. Don't Bring Bad Luck.
When Iraqis buy a new appliance they will crack an egg over it to wash away any bad luck! Iraqis are very superstitious.
5. Don't Get Jumpy!
You often may see a group of Iraqis shouting and firing rifles. But it's just a traditional way of celebrating a wedding or event. Each tribe has a different song.
6. Don't Bring Bad Luck!
If an Iraqi buys a new car, he may sacrifice a rooster for good luck. If it's a new house he may sacrifice a lamb!
7. Don't Leave the SafeZones.
Generally speaking, southern Iraq is safer than the Sunni Triangle, and a traveler must be particularly careful in Baghdad, where there are some highly dangerous neighborhoods.
8. DON'T BRING BAD LUCK!
Don't be surprised to find an old shoe hanging in a new house! Iraqis are VERY superstitious!
9. Don't ForgetShots!
The CDC recommends travelers get Hepatitis A and Typhoid vaccines as you can get these diseases through contaminated food or water in Iraq.
10. Don't ComplimentChildren!
Don't tell an Iraqi how well-behaved or handsome their child is. They believe this could jinx them with The Evil Eye.
11. Don't Eat Around!
In many places you may find yourself eating from a communal dish. In this case only take the portion that's directly in front of you.
12. Don't Eat with Your Left Hand!
According to the Prophet Muhammad, you should only use your right hand. The left hand is reserved for other things...
Now you can enjoy your stay in this stunningly beautiful and diverse country!

The 2003 invasion of Iraq lasted from 20 March to 1 May 2003 and signaled the start of the Iraq War, which was dubbed Operation Iraqi Freedom by the United States (prior to 19 March, the mission in Iraq was called Operation Enduring Freedom, a carryover from the War in Afghanistan).The invasion consisted of 21 days of major combat operations, in which a combined force of troops from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Poland invaded Iraq and deposed the Ba'athist government of Saddam Hussein. The invasion phase consisted primarily of a conventionally fought war which concluded with the capture of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad by American forces.

This video is my own personal experience in that I had in Erbil, Iraq and only Erbil. I did not travel around anywhere else in Iraq and can not speak for other places. But from my knowledge and research, Erbil is one of the most peaceful cities within Iraq and varies greatly in culture due to the Kurdistan way of life and government, which they're very proud of. Please take this video as an educational experience about another city in Iraq aside from the ones we see/hear on the news every day. Political or negative comments will not be welcome. Just enjoy :)

More about the Art of Living: www.artofliving.org
More about Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: www.srisri.org
Sri Sri founded The Art of Living as an international, non-profit, educational and humanitarian organization in 1982. Its educational and self-development programs offer powerful tools to eliminate stress and foster a sense of well-being through powerful breathing techniques such as Sudarshan Kriya and Yoga. Appealing not only to a specific population, these practices have proven effective globally at all levels of society.
What is Yoga?
The secret to health and happiness lies deep within every human. Yoga is the science of discovering one's own self - the very source of pure consciousness, peace and bliss. Everyone knows that we don't feel good and we get stressed when there is disharmony in our lives, when our bodies are tired and our busy minds constantly chatter and judge. Through the discipline of Yoga we become more aware of ourselves by doing simple postures, breathing techniques, meditation, and relaxation to rejuvenate the body and quite the mind. It is in this manner that we cultivate harmony in ourselves.
What is Meditation
Settling the surface mind is meditation. Living in the present is meditation. Relaxing deeply is meditation. When you are really happy, reposing in love, you are meditating. Meditation is that space when the thoughts have subsided, and the mind is in complete rest.
What is Sudarshan Kriya
Sudarshan Kriya incorporates specific natural rhythms of the breath which harmonize the body, mind and emotions. This unique breathing technique eliminates stress, fatigue and negative emotions such as anger, frustration and depression, leaving you calm yet energized, focused & yet relaxed. Millions around the world have done this unique practice and have reported better quality of life.

Vive, viva, and vivat

Viva, vive, and vivat are interjections used in the Romance languages. Viva in Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian, Vive in French, and Vivat in Latin and Romanian are subjunctive forms of the verb "to live". Being the third-person, subjunctive present conjugation, the terms express a hope on the part of the speaker that another should live. Thus, they mean "(may) he/she/it live!" (the word "may" is implied by the subjunctive mood) and are usually translated to English as "long live".

They are often used to salute a person or non-personal entity: "Vive le Québec libre" (from Charles de Gaulle's Vive le Québec libre speech in Montreal), or "Viva il Duce!", the rough equivalent in FascistItaly of the greeting, "HeilHitler." Additionally, in monarchical times the king of France would be wished "Vive le Roi!" and the king of Italy "Viva il Re!", both meaning "May the king live!" or "Long live the king!".

Art of Living foundation

The Art of Living Foundation is a volunteer-based, humanitarian and educational non-governmental organizations (NGO). It was founded in 1981 by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. The Art of Living Foundation is spread over 156 countries and is considered the world's largest volunteer-based NGO.

The Foundation is working in special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations. The International Association for Human Values is a partner NGO that Shankar founded, that focuses on the upliftment of human values at the grassroots level.

Organization

Art of Living Foundation (AOLF) has its international headquarters in Bangalore, India at Ved Vignan Mahavidyapeeth or VVM campus (usually referred to as the Art of Living's international facility in Bangalore, or as the Bangalore Ashram)and has regional centers in more than 150 countries. In Europe, the organization is known as the Association for Inner Growth. The Foundation was founded by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and offers a variety of personal-development and trauma-relief programs around the world.

As vice president under the ailing General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, and at a time when many groups were considered capable of overthrowing the government, Saddam created security forces through which he tightly controlled conflict between the government and the armed forces. In the early 1970s, Saddam nationalized oil and other industries. The state-owned banks were put under his control, leaving the system eventually insolvent mostly due to the Iran–Iraq War, the Gulf War, and UN sanctions. Through the 1970s, Saddam cemented his authority over the apparatuses of government as oil money helped Iraq's economy to grow at a rapid pace. Positions of power in the country were mostly filled with Sunni Arabs, a minority that made up only a fifth of the population.

Kriyā

Kriyā (in Sanskrit "action, deed, effort"(in Tamili/ˈ/Kiriyai)) most commonly refers to a "completed action", technique or practice within a yoga discipline meant to achieve a specific result. Another meaning of Kriya is an outward physical manifestation of awakened kundalini, such as a spontaneous body movement related to Kundalini energy flow. O Kriya Shakti is "a power of thought" said to be greatly studied by yogis.

The root kṛ (kri) is very common in ancient Sanskrit literature, and it is relied upon to explain ideas in Rigveda, other Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, the Epics of Hinduism. The root "kri" also appears in the word Sanskrit, to imply a language that is "well made".

Iraqi Children eke out a living in Baghdad rubbish dump - Iraq War

Imagine if these children were American, Isreali, British or simply non-Muslim, wouldn't they be publicised all over & their poor desolate condition made known to all via thousands of various media channels? So then why the double standards & lack of care & concern just because they're Iraqi & Muslim?!
This is not just the case of maybe one or two or a couple dozen of Iraqi children but of hundreds of Iraqi deprived & displaced children, adopted as an original daily routine. What more has the illegal & foreign occupation in Iraq achieved again other than negativity & failure? What more of a need is there for the foreign occupational troops to remain in Iraq when these children are left unacknowledged & cared for, whilst their number making a living from rubish is rapidly increasing? Didn't they promise to improve the situation for the Iraqis by eliminating Saddam Hussein? Didn't they promise to increase & expand the Iraqi economy? Didn't they promise the needs of the Iraqi citizens will be taken into thorough consideration? Well, they didn't quite live upto their promises & neither did such a dire situation exist during the reign of Saddam Hussein where children were forced to scavenge around garbage for a means of survival & livelihood. Unfortunately, this is the depressing reality for many Iraqi children who have no source of income, support or family.
May Allah subhana wa ta'ala better the conditions of the Iraqis & grant them success, peace & security back into their land.

But from my knowledge and research, Erbil is one of the most peaceful cities within Iraq and varies greatly in culture due to the Kurdistan way of life and government, which they're very proud of. Please take this video as an educational experience about another city in Iraq aside from the ones we see/hear on the ne...

Iraq: Daily Life Amid Chaos

There's more to Iraq than bomb blasts, but daily life in post-war Iraq is still marred by unemployment, rampant corruption and deadly violence. Lucy Kafanov reports.
http://www.lucykafanov.com

DilbandHassan was one of the original basketball team players at AUIS when Salaam Dunk was filmed. In the years since then, she has graduated from university and even started her own basketball club for women. Sadly, since ISIS came to Iraq in 2014 much has changed for her and everyone in Iraq, and basketball has gone to the wayside. See the whole Salaam Dunk series here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKbM642BAQs&list=PLXQ-B69QR-5N4HmZ8o3_5L739wh2Sux_h

Iraqi Children eke out a living in Baghdad rubbish dump - Iraq War

Imagine if these children were American, Isreali, British or simply non-Muslim, wouldn't they be publicised all over & their poor desolate condition made known to all via thousands of various media channels? So then why the double standards & lack of care & concern just because they're Iraqi & Muslim?!
This is not just the case of maybe one or two or a couple dozen of Iraqi children but of hundreds of Iraqi deprived & displaced children, adopted as an original daily routine. What more has the illegal & foreign occupation in Iraq achieved again other than negativity & failure? What more of a need is there for the foreign occupational troops to remain in Iraq when these children are left unacknowledged & cared for, whilst their number making a living from rubish is rapidly increasing?

# 12 Things NOT To Do in Iraq
By: http://www.destinationtips.com/
Iraq is a lovely place.
So know these 12 Things NOT to Do, before you go!
1. Try Not to stand out
Rather than driving fast, surrounded by bodyguards try to blend in as much as possible. Women should dress in local fashion and men should grow out their facial hair.
2. Don'tStep On Bread!
Bread is a highly treasured food in Iraq. If you happen across a fallen hunk in the street don't step on it or touch it with your feet!
3. Don't Visit the Borders.
Don't travel near the Syrian, Turkish, or Iranian borders. You may encounter large refugee flows.
4. Don't Bring Bad Luck.
When Iraqis buy a new appliance they will crack an egg over it to wash away any bad luck! Iraqis are very superstitious.
5. Don't Get Jumpy!
You often may see a group of Iraqis shouting and firing rifles. But it's just a traditional way of celebrating a wedding or event. Each tribe has a different song.
6. Don't Bring Bad Luck!
If an Iraqi buys a new car, he may sacrifice a rooster for good luck. If it's a new house he may sacrifice a lamb!
7. Don't Leave the SafeZones.
Generally speaking, southern Iraq is safer than the Sunni Triangle, and a traveler must be particularly careful in Baghdad, where there are some highly dangerous neighborhoods.
8. DON'T BRING BAD LUCK!
Don't be surprised to find an old shoe hanging in a new house! Iraqis are VERY superstitious!
9. Don't ForgetShots!
The CDC recommends travelers get Hepatitis A and Typhoid vaccines as you can get these diseases through contaminated food or water in Iraq.
10. Don't ComplimentChildren!
Don't tell an Iraqi how well-behaved or handsome their child is. They believe this could jinx them with The Evil Eye.
11. Don't Eat Around!
In many places you may find yourself eating from a communal dish. In this case only take the portion that's directly in front of you.
12. Don't Eat with Your Left Hand!
According to the Prophet Muhammad, you should only use your right hand. The left hand is reserved for other things...
Now you can enjoy your stay in this stunningly beautiful and diverse country!

The 2003 invasion of Iraq lasted from 20 March to 1 May 2003 and signaled the start of the Iraq War, which was dubbed Operation Iraqi Freedom by the United States (prior to 19 March, the mission in Iraq was called Operation Enduring Freedom, a carryover from the War in Afghanistan).The invasion consisted of 21 days of major combat operations, in which a combined force of troops from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Poland invaded Iraq and deposed the Ba'athist government of Saddam Hussein. The invasion phase consisted primarily of a conventionally fought war which concluded with the capture of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad by American forces.

Sri Sri founded The Art of Living as an international, non-profit, educational and humanitarian organization in 1982. Its educational and self-development programs offer powerful tools to eliminate stress and foster a sense of well-being through powerful breathing techniques such as Sudarshan Kriya and Yoga. Appealing not only to a specific population, these practices have proven effective globally at all levels of society.
What is Yoga?
The secret to health and happiness lies deep within every human. Yoga is the science of discovering one's own self - the very source of pure consciousness, peace and bliss. Everyone knows that we don't feel good and we get stressed when there is disharmony in our lives, when our bodies are tired and our busy minds constantly chatter and judge. Through the discipline of Yoga we become more aware of ourselves by doing simple postures, breathing techniques, meditation, and relaxation to rejuvenate the body and quite the mind. It is in this manner that we cultivate harmony in ourselves.
What is Meditation
Settling the surface mind is meditation. Living in the present is meditation. Relaxing deeply is meditation. When you are really happy, reposing in love, you are meditating. Meditation is that space when the thoughts have subsided, and the mind is in complete rest.
What is Sudarshan Kriya
Sudarshan Kriya incorporates specific natural rhythms of the breath which harmonize the body, mind and emotions. This unique breathing technique eliminates stress, fatigue and negative emotions such as anger, frustration and depression, leaving you calm yet energized, focused & yet relaxed. Millions around the world have done this unique practice and have reported better quality of life.

Iraqi Children eke out a living in Baghdad rubbish dump - Iraq War

Imagine if these children were American, Isreali, British or simply non-Muslim, wouldn't they be publicised all over & their poor desolate condition made known to all via thousands of various media channels? So then why the double standards & lack of care & concern just because they're Iraqi & Muslim?!
This is not just the case of maybe one or two or a couple dozen of Iraqi children but of hundreds of Iraqi deprived & displaced children, adopted as an original daily routine. What more has the illegal & foreign occupation in Iraq achieved again other than negativity & failure? What more of a need is there for the foreign occupational troops to remain in Iraq when these children are left unacknowledged & cared for, whilst their number making a living from rubish is rapidly increasing? Didn't they promise to improve the situation for the Iraqis by eliminating Saddam Hussein? Didn't they promise to increase & expand the Iraqi economy? Didn't they promise the needs of the Iraqi citizens will be taken into thorough consideration? Well, they didn't quite live upto their promises & neither did such a dire situation exist during the reign of Saddam Hussein where children were forced to scavenge around garbage for a means of survival & livelihood. Unfortunately, this is the depressing reality for many Iraqi children who have no source of income, support or family.
May Allah subhana wa ta'ala better the conditions of the Iraqis & grant them success, peace & security back into their land.

12 Things NOT To Do in Iraq

# 12 Things NOT To Do in Iraq
By: http://www.destinationtips.com/
Iraq is a lovely place.
So know these 12 Things NOT to Do, before you go!
1. Try Not to stand out
Rather than driving fast, surrounded by bodyguards try to blend in as much as possible. Women should dress in local fashion and men should grow out their facial hair.
2. Don'tStep On Bread!
Bread is a highly treasured food in Iraq. If you happen across a fallen hunk in the street don't step on it or touch it with your feet!
3. Don't Visit the Borders.
Don't travel near the Syrian, Turkish, or Iranian borders. You may encounter large refugee flows.
4. Don't Bring Bad Luck.
When Iraqis buy a new appliance they will crack an egg over it to wash away any bad luck! Iraqis are very superstitious.
5. Don't Get Jumpy!

Iraq History (Travel Documentary)

In this documentary, I will start with Urr - a city where Prophet Abraham alaihis salam was born and raised. Then, I will take you to Babylon that used to be an ancient Mesopotamian city.

Iran Vacation Travel Video Guide • Great Destinations

Iran – formerly Persia - is the biggest country of the Middle East. Due to the fact that sky-high snowy mountains, extended deserts, verdant oases, turquoise cupola mosques and cultural and architectural relic sites of World Heritage are waiting for all visitors it can be a very desirable destination even for tourists who continuously look for the new and varied.In Tehran the luxurious palaces of Persian shahs, the Museum of Archaeology and the Museum of Carpets and Rugs are the sights that “must” be seen. Yazd and Kerman is well-known for their mosques and bazaars, Naqsh-e Rustam is for its rock-hewn tombs, Rayen and Persepolis are for the remains of their palaces and castles from the time of the Persian Empire.

# 12 Things NOT To Do in Iraq
By: http://www.destinationtips.com/
Iraq is a lovely place.
So know these 12 Things NOT to Do, before you go!
1. Try Not to stand out
Rather than driving fast, surrounded by bodyguards try to blend in as much as possible. Women should dress in local fashion and men should grow out their facial hair.
2. Don'tStep On Bread!
Bread is a highly treasured food in Iraq. If you happen across a fallen hunk in the street don't step on it or touch it with your feet!
3. Don't Visit the Borders.
Don't travel near the Syrian, Turkish, or Iranian borders. You may encounter large refugee flows.
4. Don't Bring Bad Luck.
When Iraqis buy a new appliance they will crack an egg over it to wash away any bad luck! Iraqis are very superstitious.
5. Don't Get Jumpy!
You often may see a group of Iraqis shouting and firing rifles. But it's just a traditional way of celebrating a wedding or event. Each tribe has a different song.
6. Don't Bring Bad Luck!
If an Iraqi buys a new car, he may sacrifice a rooster for good luck. If it's a new house he may sacrifice a lamb!
7. Don't Leave the SafeZones.
Generally speaking, southern Iraq is safer than the Sunni Triangle, and a traveler must be particularly careful in Baghdad, where there are some highly dangerous neighborhoods.
8. DON'T BRING BAD LUCK!
Don't be surprised to find an old shoe hanging in a new house! Iraqis are VERY superstitious!
9. Don't ForgetShots!
The CDC recommends travelers get Hepatitis A and Typhoid vaccines as you can get these diseases through contaminated food or water in Iraq.
10. Don't ComplimentChildren!
Don't tell an Iraqi how well-behaved or handsome their child is. They believe this could jinx them with The Evil Eye.
11. Don't Eat Around!
In many places you may find yourself eating from a communal dish. In this case only take the portion that's directly in front of you.
12. Don't Eat with Your Left Hand!
According to the Prophet Muhammad, you should only use your right hand. The left hand is reserved for other things...
Now you can enjoy your stay in this stunningly beautiful and diverse country!

The purpose of this trip was to journey into the deepest corners of Iraq where the oldest monotheistic religion in the world, the Yazidi people are currently exiled in large populations outside of from their homes and villages in refugee camps after fleeing for their lives from the enslavement, genocide and torture at the hands of ISIS extremist.
I hope you enjoy this series. My intention as a filmmaker has never been to exploit anyone for the purpose of entertainment but to inform and show the public the urgent need for recognition needed by these people from the Global Community. I believe this journey and series will however make you laugh, cry, and ideally see the beauty of a people who have lost everything and been through things unimaginable and yet they maintained their dignity are fighting for their lost brothers and sisters and seeking recognition by the United Nations for peace, protection and their homes back.
I hope you are inspired.

In this documentary, I will start with Urr - a city where Prophet Abraham alaihis salam was born and raised. Then, I will take you to Babylon that used to be an ancient Mesopotamian city. From there, we will go to Najaf which was the new capital of Islamic world at the time of Imam Ali alaihis salam. Then, we will go to Kufa where Imam ali is buried. It also has Wadi Al'Salam which is the world largest cemetery. From there, we will go to Karbala where Imam Hussain alaihis salam and his companions were barbarically killed. The next stop would be Kazimain where two Imams are buried. From there, we will go to Samara where also two Imams are buried. This is also the place of Imam Mehdi alaihis salam who would come to the world in the end and would fill the Earth with peace. My last stop would be Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan. Here, you will see the Citadel of Erbil which is considered as one of the longest continuously inhabited sites in the world. All along my trip, I will take you to countless places of interest. Enjoy!

After more than 16 years of war, Afghan civilians live each day under constant threat, as U.S. forces and the Afghan government struggle to secure the country.
Despite hundreds of billions of dollars spent on the war since 2001, U.S. goals are far from within reach. Meanwhile, the Taliban has never been stronger, controlling more land than ever before and establishing footholds in nearly every province in Afghanistan.

At the time of the Egyptian crisis, AhmadMustafa, an economic and political analyst from Egypt, finds an opportunity to travel to Iran to meet and talk Sunni people; an 11000 kilometer journey; a memorable visit, from the country’s most important decision-making centers to its most outlying border areas, from the green strands of the Caspian Sea forests to the Khorasan and Baluchistan desert areas and the high mountains of Kurdistan. On this journey he hopes he will know the real Iran, a country frequently misrepresented by Western and Arab media. How Sunni Muslims live in a Shiite country?

It is revealed that Babylon, under the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, was the head of gold. The rest of the statue represented the following empires that would rise to power and rule the world after Babylon was defeated and fell. Later, Nebuchadnezzar has yet another vision, this time, one of a giant tree being cut down to the ground, representing the event that Nebuchadnezzar would be stricken with madness from God because of his pride and be assigned to experience living like an animal for seven years aft...

In his memoir, "Decision Points," Bush wrote about how he felt sick to his stomach when he found there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
"I felt terrible about it," Bush stated in 2010. "On the other hand, those reports did point out that Saddam Hussein was very dangerous, that he had the capacity to make weapons. I'm convinced that if he were still in power today, the world would be a lot worse off."

"I felt terrible about it," Bush stated in 2010. "On the other hand, those reports did point out that Saddam Hussein was very dangerous, that he had the capacity to make weapons. I'm convinced that if he were still in power today, the world would be a lot worse off."

After more than 16 years of war, Afghan civilians live each day under constant threat, as U.S. forces and the Afghan government struggle to secure the country.
Despite hundreds of billions of dollars spent on the war since 2001, U.S. goals are far from within reach. Meanwhile, the Taliban has never been stronger, controlling more land than ever before and establishing footholds in nearly every province in Afghanistan.
PresidentDonald Trump has vowed to undo some of the terror group’s grip on the country and force it back to the negotiating table. But his new strategy, which centers on thousands of additional U.S. troops and an intensification of airstrikes, has only just begun to produce gains.
The Taliban, facing renewed pressure, have increased terror attacks on major cities, striking at the heart of Kabul recently, in a series of devastating attacks that left hundreds of civilians dead in the span of a week.
VICE’s Ben Anderson travelled to Afghanistan in October 2016 as the Taliban were on the verge of retaking Helmand Province, once a crucial territory in the U.S. war. Reconnecting with families he’d visited years earlier, he saw just how little has been done to contain the Taliban’s influence across the country’s rural landscape, and the challenges that await Afghan and U.S. forces.

At the time of the Egyptian crisis, AhmadMustafa, an economic and political analyst from Egypt, finds an opportunity to travel to Iran to meet and talk Sunni people; an 11000 kilometer journey; a memorable visit, from the country’s most important decision-making centers to its most outlying border areas, from the green strands of the Caspian Sea forests to the Khorasan and Baluchistan desert areas and the high mountains of Kurdistan. On this journey he hopes he will know the real Iran, a country frequently misrepresented by Western and Arab media. How Sunni Muslims live in a Shiite country? That’s the question that’s brought Ahmad Mustafa to Iran.

Biblical scripture records that king Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of the ancient empire of Babylon, had a vision given to him by God of a giant metallic statue of a man with a head of god, arms and chest of silver, belly and thighs of brass, legs of iron and feet and toes of part iron and part clay. It is revealed that Babylon, under the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, was the head of gold. The rest of the statue represented the following empires that would rise to power and rule the world after Babylon was defeated and fell. Later, Nebuchadnezzar has yet another vision, this time, one of a giant tree being cut down to the ground, representing the event that Nebuchadnezzar would be stricken with madness from God because of his pride and be assigned to experience living like an animal for seven years after losing his kingship over Babylon. An important detail to note concerning this prophecy is the fact that the stump of the tree is left in the ground and then banded with two bands ... one of brass and one of iron. Though Nebuchadnezzar would later be restored to the rulership of Babylon, the empire was eventually conquered and fell to the Meado-Persian empire. Following the Persian empire, Greece and then Rome would rise to world power status and rule from Babylon, thus fulfilling the banded tree stump prophecy. But the stump of Babylon is indeed still in the ground and is representative of what will transpire in the end times as the territory of ancient Babylon, modern day Iraq, will once again play a significant role during end times prophecy concerning the re-emergence of Mystery Babylon. It is said that the United Nations may end up moving their headquarters there. This would be a stunning prophecy fulfillment of the tree stump. Iraq, (the territory of ancient Babylon) may indeed be destined to be the place where the Antichrist and his rising kingdom may rule from as we approach the end time tribulation period.

12 Things NOT To Do in Iraq

# 12 Things NOT To Do in Iraq
By: http://www.destinationtips.com/
Iraq is a lovely place.
So know these 12 Things NOT to Do, before you go!
1. Try Not to stand out
Rather than driving fast, surrounded by bodyguards try to blend in as much as possible. Women should dress in local fashion and men should grow out their facial hair.
2. Don'tStep On Bread!
Bread is a highly treasured food in Iraq. If you happen across a fallen hunk in the street don't step on it or touch it with your feet!
3. Don't Visit the Borders.
Don't travel near the Syrian, Turkish, or Iranian borders. You may encounter large refugee flows.
4. Don't Bring Bad Luck.
When Iraqis buy a new appliance they will crack an egg over it to wash away any bad luck! Iraqis are very superstitious.
5. Don't Get Jumpy!
You often may see a group of Iraqis shouting and firing rifles. But it's just a traditional way of celebrating a wedding or event. Each tribe has a different song.
6. Don't Bring Bad Luck!
If an Iraqi buys a new car, he may sacrifice a rooster for good luck. If it's a new house he may sacrifice a lamb!
7. Don't Leave the SafeZones.
Generally speaking, southern Iraq is safer than the Sunni Triangle, and a traveler must be particularly careful in Baghdad, where there are some highly dangerous neighborhoods.
8. DON'T BRING BAD LUCK!
Don't be surprised to find an old shoe hanging in a new house! Iraqis are VERY superstitious!
9. Don't ForgetShots!
The CDC recommends travelers get Hepatitis A and Typhoid vaccines as you can get these diseases through contaminated food or water in Iraq.
10. Don't ComplimentChildren!
Don't tell an Iraqi how well-behaved or handsome their child is. They believe this could jinx them with The Evil Eye.
11. Don't Eat Around!
In many places you may find yourself eating from a communal dish. In this case only take the portion that's directly in front of you.
12. Don't Eat with Your Left Hand!
According to the Prophet Muhammad, you should only use your right hand. The left hand is reserved for other things...
Now you can enjoy your stay in this stunningly beautiful and diverse country!

U.S. MARINES IN IRAQ. REAL COMBAT - HEAVY CLASHES | WAR IN IRAQ

*DISCLAIMER* This footage is part of an war archive of the war in Iraq and should be viewed as educational. This footage is not meant to glorify war or violence. I am only sharing this footage for the purposes of news reporting and educating. This is a war documentary.
The 2003 invasion of Iraq lasted from 20 March to 1 May 2003 and signaled the start of the Iraq War, which was dubbed Operation Iraqi Freedom by the United States (prior to 19 March, the mission in Iraq was called Operation Enduring Freedom, a carryover from the War in Afghanistan).The invasion consisted of 21 days of major combat operations, in which a combined force of troops from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Poland invaded Iraq and deposed the Ba'athist government of Saddam Hussein. The invasion phase consisted primarily of a conventionally fought war which concluded with the capture of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad by American forces.

This video is my own personal experience in that I had in Erbil, Iraq and only Erbil. I did not travel around anywhere else in Iraq and can not speak for other places. But from my knowledge and research, Erbil is one of the most peaceful cities within Iraq and varies greatly in culture due to the Kurdistan way of life and government, which they're very proud of. Please take this video as an educational experience about another city in Iraq aside from the ones we see/hear on the news every day. Political or negative comments will not be welcome. Just enjoy :)

Sri Sri founded The Art of Living as an international, non-profit, educational and humanitarian organization in 1982. Its educational and self-development programs offer powerful tools to eliminate stress and foster a sense of well-being through powerful breathing techniques such as Sudarshan Kriya and Yoga. Appealing not only to a specific population, these practices have proven effective globally at all levels of society.
What is Yoga?
The secret to health and happiness lies deep within every human. Yoga is the science of discovering one's own self - the very source of pure consciousness, peace and bliss. Everyone knows that we don't feel good and we get stressed when there is disharmony in our lives, when our bodies are tired and our busy minds constantly chatter and judge. Through the discipline of Yoga we become more aware of ourselves by doing simple postures, breathing techniques, meditation, and relaxation to rejuvenate the body and quite the mind. It is in this manner that we cultivate harmony in ourselves.
What is Meditation
Settling the surface mind is meditation. Living in the present is meditation. Relaxing deeply is meditation. When you are really happy, reposing in love, you are meditating. Meditation is that space when the thoughts have subsided, and the mind is in complete rest.
What is Sudarshan Kriya
Sudarshan Kriya incorporates specific natural rhythms of the breath which harmonize the body, mind and emotions. This unique breathing technique eliminates stress, fatigue and negative emotions such as anger, frustration and depression, leaving you calm yet energized, focused & yet relaxed. Millions around the world have done this unique practice and have reported better quality of life.

HOW DANGEROUS IS TRAVEL IN IRAQ??

This is the first of a new series of videos fitting into my Minute Monologues with Mariande series.

Together and made possible by the Go to Gound NewsOrganization
*Twitter: @g2gnewsinc & http://www.gotoground.com
We arrived in the capital city Erbil (Irbil) in northern KurdistanIraq with very little information of what to expect.
Our mission was in support of International humanitarian Sally Becker *Twitter: @SallyBecker121

The purpose of this trip was to journey into the deepest corners of Iraq where the oldest monotheistic religion in the world, the Yazidi people are currently exiled in large populations outside of from their homes and villages in refugee camps after fleeing for their lives from the enslavement, genocide and torture at the hands of ISIS extremist.
I hope you enjoy this series. My intention as a filmmaker has never been to exploit anyone for the purpose of entertainment but to inform and show the public the urgent need for recognition needed by these people from the Global Community. I believe this journey and series will however make you laugh, cry, and ideally see the beauty of a people who have lost everything and been through things unimaginable and yet they maintained their dignity are fighting for their lost brothers and sisters and seeking recognition by the United Nations for peace, protection and their homes back.
I hope you are inspired.

Iraq History (Travel Documentary)

In this documentary, I will start with Urr - a city where Prophet Abraham alaihis salam was born and raised. Then, I will take you to Babylon that used to be an ancient Mesopotamian city. From there, we will go to Najaf which was the new capital of Islamic world at the time of Imam Ali alaihis salam. Then, we will go to Kufa where Imam ali is buried. It also has Wadi Al'Salam which is the world largest cemetery. From there, we will go to Karbala where Imam Hussain alaihis salam and his companions were barbarically killed. The next stop would be Kazimain where two Imams are buried. From there, we will go to Samara where also two Imams are buried. This is also the place of Imam Mehdi alaihis salam who would come to the world in the end and would fill the Earth with peace. My last stop would be Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan. Here, you will see the Citadel of Erbil which is considered as one of the longest continuously inhabited sites in the world. All along my trip, I will take you to countless places of interest. Enjoy!
